Kind of agree with everybody else. I remember when I was much younger back around 1980 the county fair board sweating the cost of insurance to put on a fair. It most likely has gotten worse since then. Then that large cost with rising utilities has made the admittance fee too high. Then there is the internet which can show you much more when it comes to farm equipment and livestock. 4H clubs have been in decline for decades as there are fewer farm families per community. I'm not all that old but I was a grade schooler the last time local equipment dealers brought stuff to look at. Most jobs around here today when adjusted for inflation don't have the buying power of 30-40 years ago and will not get better as time moves forward. I don't envy a person age 20-25 that wants to live like it is 1977 again. Used to be new car dealerships easily out numbered used car lots but that has flipped over to the other way now. All the new car dealers have built new facilities in the past few years and I am skeptical as to the payoff in that as more people have less buying power in a community. All the consumer buying power rests with people over age 60 who had non-service sector jobs and bought homes for on average 10,000 dollars in their youth. Shockwaves ahead in the economy.
